Pizza!!I



I love pizza

I really love pizza. One of the sad things about being allergic to cow's milk is the utter lack of pizza delivery.
I make up for this by spending a little extra to make an awesome pizza at home.
I've recently discovered that Pillsbury (of all things) makes two kinds of dairy free pizza dough- the kind in the tube. I've tried both kinds, and prefer the "Classic" to the "Thin" because the thin is really hard to unroll and get on the pan evenly. I also pre-bake the dough- it seems to cook better pre-baked with the toppings on it.
This particular pizza has all sorts of garden goods on it- tomatoes, red peppers, and fresh basil. I also chop up spinach and mix it in with my tomato sauce, so it's well coated and doesn't burn.
I also advocate $$ cheese- in particular, water buffalo mozzarella. Tasty, delicious, not too strong (I realize that goat cheddar, which is also what I use, is an acquired taste.) Think of it this way- you're spending the money on cheese instead of delivery and tip!

So, this pizza recipe:
Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 medium red pepper, sliced
5-6 leaves of fresh basil, sliced
1 package fresh buffalo mozzerella
4 oz sharp goat cheddar, grated

Grease the pan, and pre-bake the pizza dough for 8 minutes. Chop the spinach and mix it in the tomato sauce, and spread the tomato sauce mixture on the pizza dough and add the toppings.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough edges are toasted.
Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!!
